I realized, I needed to do something that’s NOT about me… I needed to do something that has NOTHING to do with me”
– David Archuleta
Could there be words more powerful to relay the message of selflessness?
We may come from various directions and live with different persuasions, but I hardly think that anyone will doubt the light that shines through this wonderful young man.
Especially in this setting which he holds so dear to his heart and soul. So dear that he was willing to walk away from the limelight and live in servitude for what he believes in. If only for that, you have my utmost respect and admiration…
Am sure most of Utahns have seen the promo video and thanks to two Archies who shared their TV capture of the commercial, we got to see a glimpse of what’s to come on April 6.
Well, TDC was blessed to have the opportunity to secure an HD version of the 30-sec commercial and we are sharing them with worldwide Archies to enjoy.
DAVID ARCHULETA: CALLED TO SERVE Promo Video HD
Here is the full text of David’s narration:
I always wanted to go on a mission. I guess God wanted me to do something else…
I couldn’t talk very well, so He gave me music to serve.
I realize I needed to do something that is NOT about me. I needed to do something that has NOTHING to do with me…
Siiiggghhhh… SIGH… SIGH… SIGH… Can we please clone him? Pretty please????
Anyway, the hymn that serves as background to the teaser vid is entitled “I’ll Go Where You Want Me to Go”. Check out the lyrics in both Spanish & English below:

MARLIE -- in the previous thread you said you were down with the flu over the weekend. Well, am sure this will uplift you 🙂
A bit late in uploading than I originally planned. Had to attend the meeting and I forgot to click the upload button -- bahahahahaha!
Oh and look at this! Credit to Sister Kelly
Watching these just brings a big ole smile to my face and warmth I can feel down to my toes. 🙂
Marlie, I hope you feel better soon. ((hugs)) 🙂
Again, thanks CUTTER!
More homecoming pix surfaced online 🙂
At the airport
Will post more pix when I get home later 🙂
Meanwhile, how many times have you watched the promo vid? Fess up! 🙂
I just love seeing that smiling face, hearing that lovely dulcet-toned speaking voice, and of course hearing David sing!!!!
I look forward to seeing the video….and then I look forward to seeing what comes next! 🙂
PS -- Do I detect a little bit of “hair lengthening” in the coming-home pics and vids? Does it seem like he’s growing out his hair!!!! It seems thicker and almost ready to be swept up into his signature faux-hawk!
Does anyone know what happened to his father Jeff and brother Daniel? I can’t see them in the video.
MORE HOMECOMING PIX -- THE FAM!
Thanks Ninja JR!!
iloveda: I noticed their absence as well. Perhaps it is awkward for Jeff to be around Lupe’s new husband. Not sure about Daniel. I suspect they will meet up with David on some other turf, but I really am just speculating.
JR: You rock the photos, lady!
She has new husband? Wow. I noticed the guy, but didn’t know. I hope both Jeff and Daniel are ok.

First vlog!!!!
He vloooggggggssssss!
daid.
On the occasion of David’s 1st vlog after 2 years, I offer Patti Austin’s THROUGH THE TEST OF TIME
OMG -- JR, that is one of my favorite songs! I love Patti Austin!!!
PERFECT song to have us focus on -- had never heard of her. Thank you! I believe David’s fans are excellent wait-ers, and pray-ers, and just plain lucky to have him on any terms 🙂
MARLIE -- that album of hers Love is Gonna Getcha is one of my all time favorite! In my previous work, my office mates could count on that tune to be played as soon as we enter our OT work. Helped us get through tons of pressure-filled situations :
PAT -- I just love how the song captures what some of us may feel -- and that includes David.
SO WE TAKE IT ONE DAY AT A TIME….
